What is leaking on the top of transmission kia rio 5 2009 sx hatchback.
What is your question?
Atop the transmission I see a pool of red fluid (transmission fluid) I'm wondering if its the little black seal I can see, it's roughly close to an inch in length and diameter is 1/2 inch or less, a tiny little guy all by itself not seemingly connected to anything, almost looks like a rubber plug or something, but I can see it's off of a steel tube from the topside of transmission and this is where I find transmission fluid pooling on top of transmission, can I push it down to hopefully repeat to reseal, I can't imagine it being anything else atop of the transmission as this is the wettest area with transmission fluid, but even driving only 7-14 miles I loose 2+ quarts of transmission fluid on the drive.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Worse when traveling faster or at higher rpm, when it's hot and transmission fluid becomes viscous
